Story
New Beginnings Preschool - Ngā Timatanga Hou
Located in the Linwood suburb of East Christchurch, New Beginnings Preschool is a community-based early childhood centre governed by a Board of Trustees. Established in 1983, we provide a nurturing and inclusive environment for infants, toddlers, and young children up to school age.
Our centre features dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces for both under-two and over-two age groups, supporting each child’s unique stage of development. Formerly known as Linwood Community Creche Incorporated and Linwood Community Childcare Centre Incorporated, we became New Beginnings Preschool in 2002.
We are licensed for up to 36 children, including 6 under the age of two, and are open daily from 8:45 AM to 3:15 PM.
